90% of Sunset Valley lots gone after returning from vacation.

L&P? I'm so paranoid.
EDIT: Oh and I meant to add, yes. At some point during my testing, I figured if you happened upon Blue Lot Syndrome, then your neighborhood is FUBAR'd and you might as well give that particular hood, a trip to the trash can. But this post from TS3 forums is someone asking if the blue lot hood can be salvaged...I've already deleted all mine.
So, my next tests will be:
- Converting some know bad-blue-lot-causing CC package files to Sims3Packs and seeing if it affects the game.
- Finding a fresh Resource.cfg and a one-by-one folder re-insert to Mods/Packages.
I don't mix all my package files together. Each download gets its own folder so, this is going to be quite painful since my Mods folder has 395 files.

I just added back Desdren, default skins, Garden of Shadows, NewSea, Patterns, XMSims, Xerendipity items, and the no mosaic. I aged up a child and gave her a custom Peggy hair and got her to China and back. I have saved and been to the main menu and back, and so far am OK! :)

The CC files will not cause the blue lots if they are simply in the Mods folder when the game is launched. The item must be placed on a lot and the game saved and relaunched before the blue lots will show up. I saved and relaunched with lemoncandy files in my mods folder before I put them in a house. I was fine. I put a fig tree on the lot, saved and relaunched and got the blue lots.
Sparks:
Well, I don't know what the hell I'm doing wrong. I didn't get very far before being infected again.
Added back a Resource.cfg and created a new Mods/Packages, within the new WA install path, added only Shoes and Patterns package files, opened a legit old save, got a fresh blue lot nightmare. Well actually a black lot nightmare because my graphics settings are turned down to low. I also downloaded some new Sims3Packs and installed those previously. They never caused a problem; my current Sim is wearing a new and slightly tacky dress from TSR and everything is fine.
Everyone else seems to be making some progress with CC; I'm stagnated. Sigh.
daisylee:
So you got the problem again simply by placing the items in the game without actually using them, correct? If so, that means that they do not have to be on a lot to cause problems. Hmmmm ....
I am going to stick the CC that I have in at the moment on a blank lot and see what happens. I have not added back lemoncandy items yet.
